In a reassuring turn of events, veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, aged 73, has been discharged from a private hospital in Kolkata on Monday afternoon after a brief admission due to severe chest pain on February 10. Following a series of clinical tests, including an MRI, the actor confidently addressed the public, stating, “There is actually no problem; I am absolutely fine. I have to keep control of my food habits. Let’s see; I may start working soon, maybe tomorrow.”
Earlier in the day, senior doctors and therapists conducted a thorough review of Mithun Chakraborty’s health condition, confirming his good health and readiness for discharge. The veteran actor shared that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had personally called him on Sunday, expressing concern about his health and emphasizing the importance of well-being. Chakraborty humorously mentioned that he ‘got a scolding for not taking care of his health’ from PM Modi.
BJP MP Dilip Ghosh, reflecting Mithun Chakraborty’s association with the Bharatiya Janata Party, visited the actor in the hospital in the morning. Mithun, honored with the Padma Bhushan, boasts an extensive filmography, having acted in around 350 films in various languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Odia, Bhojpuri, and Tamil.
Despite the brief health scare, Mithun Chakraborty affirmed his readiness to resume shooting for his upcoming films, showcasing the resilience and spirit that have made him a beloved figure in the Indian film industry.
